[QUOTE="ratski, post: 1777421, member: 936"] Glad everything worked out as well as it did. Probably the single most important part of your story and experience is the fact that you DID NOT pull the trigger. You were ready to, but you still had the presence of mind to think it through. There are alot of people who will tell you "man, I would have just pulled the trigger" or "I can't believe that you waited". They have never had to make the decision you made. I always say that until you have been in that position and had to make that decision, you have no idea of what you would do. I can honestly tell you that I have walked in your shoes, and I made the same decision. I DID NOT pull the trigger. To this day, I am glad that I did not. It would have been a horrible mistake in my case. Had he moved towards you, the equation would have changed. The decision engine would have changed. Thankfully, you are OK. And, who knows, maybe this guy had to go check his shorts after the encounter also. Also, it isn't too late to call the cops and report it. But I might do it AFTER checking with an attorney. Yes, you have a witness, and maybe tape, but who knows. The guy did threaten you. Maybe between having a gun pointed at him and then the cops telling him how lucky he is to be above ambient temperature could affect whether he does it again to someone else. Glad you are OK. The shakes were normal. You might even get them again. I'm guessing that you will always see that red dot between his eyes in your mind's eye. Dave [/QUOTE]
